I think it is important to note that there are United States citizens... and then there are Americans; the two are not one in the same, unfortunately. For instance, the United States citizen will most likely vote for Hilary (while being on a work visa or a recent illegal granted amnesty) while the American will start wondering where he/she can live that's not a Dystopian paradigm. It only took roughly 240 years for the American to start to feel like the Native American of old.
**This will be an idea that of course I'll need to revisit (in greater detail), but I just wanted to get a quick note on "US citizen vs American."

Well, carp. Once again, you’ve taken what I feel and put it in one perfect format. And her long tail of stink isn’t just from Benghazi. There’s a lot more to it. I can’t stand her.

Recon6,
At one time i thought that a violent revolution to overthrow the traitors who have siezed control over our government was our only option to restore the Republic... I do not believe it would be successful anymore... As soon as the Republic were to be restored, the people would just elect traitors once again and it would all be for not...
The American People are acting and voting just like they were taught to do. As long as our enemies are allowed to run our public education systems, our people will continue to be indoctrinated to vote for them... It kinda makes the revolution mute now imo...
But yes, Cuba is where im goin! Haha...

Waterborne Unfortunately Bubba, we are in complete agreement... I can see the future headline in the New Yorker 'America, Bought and Paid For'....subtitle "how did this happen with Hillary as Prez?"
Fucking people are idiots, jmo, but if I can't join the Revolution perhaps I should just go to Cuba and plot the violent overthrow of the American gov't for the next 8 years.....6
